Brake seals leaking
I have a new master cylinder and had the seal fixed on the right rear wheel, but I have noticed now the brake pad feels spongy, and eventually going to the floor practically. Checked the fluid and it was nearly gone, filled up again and the same thing started to happen. Thats when I noticed the fluid comming out of 3 wheels on the inside of the tire.
My question is, How hard is it to change the seals as I really have no idea how to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ya need to rebuild or replace all 4 wheel cylinders. As they are very inexspencive I replace them now. And when having the drums off ya should renew the shoes and hardware. It is fairly simple. If ya can do a tune up ya should be able to do this. Just do one at a time with the drum off the other side so as to have a picture as to how it all sets in there. And ya have to bleed the air out of the system when done and adjust them up as well. Get a manual for your truck as it will walk you through it.
